In relativistic heavy-ion collisions, the strong Lorentz-contracted electromagnetic fields are capable of producing copious numbers of lepton pairs through the two-photon mechanism. We provide a new and more general derivation of the Poisson distribution for multiple-pair production and develop a hy
